Let’s start with the salad dressing. You can use a store bought French or yogurt salad dressing or you can make it quickly on your own.
You will need: juice from 1/2 a lemon, 1 tsp mustard, 1 tbsp mayonnaise or yogurt, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp white wine or apple cider vinegar, pinch of salt and optionally pinch of onion powder, pinch of garlic powder and pinch of powdered rosemary. Put all ingredients in a little jar and shake it well.

Now over to the salad: in a salad bowl add 1.5 cups of shredded celery root, 2 tbsp of the salad dressing and 1/4 cup of cottage cheese. Stir everything nicely.

Put 1.5 cups of dark green salad on top. I used field salad, but one can use for example arugula or baby spinach. Take 2 artichoke hearts in oil, squeeze the oil and cut each one into 4 pieces. Add 1/4 cup more of the cottage cheese and the artichoke hearts. Drizzle pumpkin oil over it and put some black pepper on it.
You could also use walnuts instead of the artichoke hearts. Walnuts go very well with celery root.

I am totally hooked on this salad. This is the fourth time in two weeks that I am cooking this recipe, just changing the greens every time 🙂

You have to try the combination celery root and pumpkin oil – it tastes like heaven!
